How to make your own favicon

0 comments | Saturday, November 17, 2007

Favicon? Ah, the little icon or image or logo that shows in the address bar of most browsers or next to bookmarks. Just like mine below.
Favicons are 16 pixels square. How to make a favicon? It is very easy.

To make your own favicon, you have to make first a graphic or use your own photo and adjust it to 16x16 pixels in no more than 16 colors. You can use Photoshop to do it. Then save it as a bmp.

Next, you need a graphics program that will change the ".bmp" into an icon or an image with ".ico" extension. You can use Irfanview. Download it for free.

Name it favicon.ico then upload it to your server.

Lastly, you need to add the following code to the < head > tag of your html:
< link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico" >

Don't forget to change http://www.yoursite.com to your own site address.

Enjoy making your personalized favicon!
